Junior Lecturer / PhD Candidate in Neuromorphic Computing at the Donders Centre for Cognition

You will work as a junior lecturer in the Artificial Intelligence programme. You will be given the opportunity to obtain your university teaching qualification (BKO) and  work towards your PhD degree as well. The AI programme offers a BSc in AI, a pre-Master's programme, and an MSc in AI, with specialisations in Cognitive Computing and Interactive Technology. Our fully English-taught programmes show a continuing steady growth in student numbers and are among the top AI programmes in the Netherlands. We have the ambition to be among the top European programmes in Cognitive AI.

You will conduct your research at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour. The Donders Institute is a world-class interfaculty research centre, that houses more than 700 researchers devoted to understanding the mechanistic underpinnings of the human mind. Research at the Donders Institute is focused around four themes: 1. Language and communication , 2. Perception, action and control , 3. Plasticity and memory , 4. Neural computation and Neurotechnology . Excellent, state-of-the-art research facilities are available for the broad range of research that is being conducted at the Donders Institute. The Donders Institute has been assessed by an international evaluation committee as 'excellent' and is recognised as a 'very stimulating environment for top researchers, as well as for young talent'. The Donders Institute fosters a collaborative, multidisciplinary, supportive research environment with a diverse international staff. English is the lingua franca at the Institute.

More specifically, you will be embedded in the Brain Inspired Computing group at the Donders Centre for Cognition. The members of this group are interested in the foundations and applications of neuromorphic computing, particularly with respect to algorithm design and the development of a formal neuromorphic complexity theory.
